Not as far as I know. I think it would be very difficult to make one as a Maya-Ascii file for example really isn't a data-file as such - it's a MEL script that builds the dependency graph. I would assume the binary format is similar but with tokenized strings and values or something like that. > also, is there a standard 3d format out there that supports > multiple textures > and bumpmaps out there? that i can output from Maya relativelly easilly? > for some reason old formats like obj, vrml and 3ds seem to still rule the > earth, is there something that is well documented and better out there? It doesn't seem like it. We had to develop our own exporter. Perhaps the Maya->.X exporter that comes with the DX8 SDK could be of some use? It comes with source so you can modify/extend it yourself.
